Giants’ Mike Kafka desires to enhance the ‘explosive passing sport’

It’s no secret the New York Giants have to get extra dynamic and explosive within the passing sport. Final season, they had been thirty first in passing yards and averaged simply 6.5 yards per passing try.

Granted, the Giants suffered a number of accidents on the quarterback place, together with a season-ending knee damage to starter Daniel Jones midway by way of the yr.

Backup Tyrod Taylor began 5 video games and likewise received injured, resulting in the group turning to rookie Tommy DeVito to begin six video games.

That revolving door, together with one other season of ravaging accidents to the offensive line, made for a difficult season for offensive coordinator Mike Kafka.

The Giants ought to have all the injured gamers again — together with Jones — this summer season and normal supervisor Joe Schoen has stuffed in holes alongside the road and backfilled the lack of star operating again Saquon Barkley with veteran Devin Singletary, and is planning extra additions.

Kafka is aware of he has to make do with what he has and just lately acknowledged what he expects in 2024.

“I’d wish to see us take a step ahead in our explosive move sport,” Mike Kafka stated throughout a current episode of ‘On the Drive with Shaun O’Hara‘ on Giants.com. “I’m actually excited concerning the guys we’ve got. I’m excited concerning the schemes that we’ve been speaking about all offseason and implementing these issues.”

The Giants maintain the sixth general choice within the 2024 NFL draft. They’ll both take a quarterback or a large receiver. Most pundits imagine they are going to find yourself with one of many three stud receivers on this yr’s class: Ohio State’s Marvin Harrison Jr., Malik Nabers of LSU, or Washington’s Rome Odunze.

Whatever the weaponry added on offense, the passing sport will hinge on how nicely the offensive line blocks. They allowed 85 sacks in 2024, the second-most in a single season since sacks turned an official stat in 1982.

Kafka believes a full season of Andrew Thomas at left sort out and John Michael Schmitz at middle mixed with free agent additions Jon Runyan Jr. and Jermaine Eluemunor beneath new place coach Carmen Bricillo will enhance the general play.

“I feel our O-line will take a step ahead as nicely and proceed to develop,” Kafka stated, “however all 11 guys are going to have to try this.”

Kafka remains to be uncertain about who will name the performs — both him or head coach Brian Daboll — and the general technique of the offense heading into the summer season.

“It’s been cool,” Kafka stated. “Because the offseason goes on and the season (goes on), I feel issues will begin to roll extra. Proper now, it’s actually fluid and Dabs has finished a very nice job of maintaining me included.”

The Giants, in fact, will want Jones to totally recuperate from the torn ACL he suffered final yr that price him the second half of the season. Jones is predicted to be prepared by tailing camp in July.

“Inside the scope of his rehab, his capacity to get psychological reps, that’s going to be tremendous vital,” Kafka stated. “Clearly you’re not going to have the ability to do the bodily stuff, however the psychological reps are going to be tremendous vital. I feel Daniel will do an superior job of constructing in these psychological reps, taking it, understanding, after which nonetheless having the ability to talk, be on the sphere and talk with gamers and ensure that they sort of see it by way of his lens and so they’re each seeing it the identical means.”

If Jones suffers any kind of a setback, Schoen signed Drew Lock in free company to steer the ship till Jones — or a doable rookie quarterback — will get on top of things.
